What to know locally in Alberton
In Alrode the choice is heavy: thick wall steel pipe, concrete filled and galvanised, often 168 mm or bigger at loading bays and tank farms. Meyersdal estates prefer stone clad, cast concrete or stainless bollards that suit the ridge, with LED or solar bollard lights along winding roads. Brackenhurst and Randhart homes usually go for simple powder coated driveway posts.
Alberton: the properties, the ground and the installers
Two very different Albertons ask for bollards. Alrode, one of the bigger heavy industrial areas south of Johannesburg, is full of steel works, foundries, chemical plants and truck depots off the R59 and Heidelberg Road, and it buys heavy posts, guardrail and boom gates by the dozen. Up on the Klipriviersberg ridge, Meyersdal's security estates and large homes want decorative and lit bollards, retractable posts at gates and neat speed humps. In between, Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and Randhart have family homes and complexes, while New Redruth's shopping streets and Thokoza's busy routes need sidewalk protection. Rock is shallow on the ridge, and Alrode's own fabricators make supply quick.
The requests we see from Alberton usually come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: protecting racking ends, doors, gas lines and pedestrian routes from forklifts and trucks
- Homeowners: a post or two to stop cars parking across the driveway or clipping the wall
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a line of posts in front of shopfronts, ATMs and pump islands against reversing cars
